Hirsute no longer suits her ... Axis of Awesome's Jordan Raskopoulos is transitioning to a woman.

Raskopoulos, one third of the comedy band Axis of Awesome, recently revealed her trans status in a video entitled What's Happened to Jordan's Beard.

"I'm going to continue exactly what I was doing before and I'm going to be f**king awesome," she said in the defiant and heartfelt three-minute clip.

"We put the video out there to let our subscribers and our followers know why we had been away for a little while and the changes that had happened," she told Channel Ten's The Project. "We expected a positive response from the people who follow us but it's kind of spread out far and wide and it seems to be hitting people in the right place.

"Everyone is really nice – more or less – and the people who aren't nice are being taken care of by the people who are nice."

Raskopoulos, who remains happily married, to "the most supportive person in the world" went on to detail the bizarre red-tape tangle the couple now faces.

"We're already married but for me to legally change my gender on my birth certificate we have to be divorced," she said. "I can't actually fix my birth certificate unless I am not married to a woman because under Australia's law two women can't be married.

"It's just another face of the marriage equality issue ... the law kind of wants to bust us up."

Raskopoulos continues to perform and tour with her popular band, best known for the viral video 4 Chord Song.

Life on the road is mostly the same, she said, apart from a couple of key differences.

"The boys are getting used to it taking a little bit longer for me to get ready before the show. Also, the other thing is, because of transition, I've lost a lot of upper-body strength so they are the ones that have to carry the instruments now."
